    I'm almost as shocked as MC is every five minutes, with a nice wide open mouth looking like a retard, or trying to catch his next meal... flies.

    For the positive. The renders in the latter part of the game look nice and there are animations. Clear and few choices.

    Everything else sadly misses.
    Most of the bodies and faces are misshapen and either a hit or miss for the player.

    And then we have the story... Some highlights (I had written more, but I saw the light as to how long and boring it would become so here some key points.)
    We are greeted with a wake up scene where MC picks up his alarm clock and throws it into his wall mounted TV, as you do, but we will learn the household he lives in has money... so it is absolutely no problem?
    As an aside MCs parents are dead, so the following characters are not his family.

    There is a scene with the mother and MC suddenly (!!!) realizes he is attracted to her.

    Ring on the Door.
    Unknown "Are you MC, I am here to protect you. I was send by head of household to protect you. When he is unreachable for 48h."
    Mother "MC is that coworker?"
    MC "No it is my Cousin!"
    OK so you accept strangers into the house where you are squatting just based on their word.
    That could be resolved by giving her a letter or MC getting an email from head of household. "Hey if I am gone for time X someone will come to you."

    Coworker comes by to dump another woman, in form of his daughter, into the household and pissing of as he needs to help head of household.

    After that unknown offers MC a BJ to relief him and what follows is unknows face turning into a glory hole and inhaling(?) MC dick.

    MC wakes up and android slices down his sternum. Unknown finds him and injects him with stuff.
    Some strange dream scene.
    And MC heals shortly after.

    Date with daughter of coworker, sex with her and animations in which they both look like wet silicon in between normal looking renders.
    --- As a positive the scene was nice, it was not the standard in, out and done.

    Knowing how dangerous it is outside he takes the households daughters with him to check the lab, where head of household and coworker should be. KNOWING there are military grade robots and androids.
    They get attacked, unknown joins them and we get confirmation that unknown and MC are super human thanks to nanites.

    After that there is another sex scene with unknown, where in the animation her skin changes from healthy to sickly whitish.

    In the story you get to meet some strange male character who is supposed to be comedy relief? He is just annoying.


    The story as is... it's a mess with strange to moronic actions of the MC.
    Sudden attraction to characters the MC is surrounded by for years, almost as if it was just convenient. Nothing --- game starts --- attraction.
    There is an idea here, it just needs better writing and less something needs to happen, lets go with the first thing that sounds stupid enough to work.
    As for the female characters only unknown (Aurora) was appealing to me, even with her hips double the width of her waist.
    The rest of the characters have too outlandish designs for my taste. BUT that is personal.

    Also don't say what you spend and what you have as income to beg for money, that is so unprofessional.
    A simple "If you liked the game consider supporting me/us on platform x/y/z, thanks."

    All in all, make the story a bit slower, more believable, MC less stupid, cut the comic relief, remove the single choices (if there is nothing else to click, then don't make a choice button) and this could become a good game. But at the end of the days, it's my opinion.

    So far so good. Animations have been on point and sharp. The story has been good so far as well. Hope this continues and is updated in a timely manner. Can't wait to see and explore more. Will continue to explore more of this when it becomes available.

    Shockingly bad models, the preview images are misleading they all have disgusting deformed boobs which are rendered terrible. The animations make the models even worse - for example as a blowjob the mouse stretches into a huge ring bigger than a human head like watching a childrens cartoon.

    The UI is atrocious, mainly consisting of a pastel overlay which animates way too slowly with uninterpretable stats and wacky writing.

    The writing itself is actually one of the stronger points the story has some thought behind it and you can suspend disbelief enough to accept many of the lines might actually be spoken by a human woman

    So, I managed to complete the game, so now for my review. I have to say it's worse than I thought. The main character is as dumb as a doorknob. No reasonable person would make any of his decisions. First, he lets a stranger into the house, then he lies to his landlady about the stranger, who didn't even provide any proof to show she was telling the truth. She didn't even show her ID to prove she was who she claimed to be. Then, for whatever reason, he tells his landlady that the stranger is his cousin, which makes absolutely no sense. Then he's almost killed by a robot, wakes up, and instead of resting, he wants to go to the high-rise in his underwear. Then he goes to the gym in his underwear and talks to people there, still in his underwear. Then he goes outside even though he knows how dangerous it is, just to buy flowers. He almost gets killed there too. After the date, he wants to go out again, this time with two women, even though they know it's dangerous. They go Gathering food without weapons, then being rescued by a fat policeman, he then makes a deal with a woman and spies on the port or whatever place it was, still without weapons and without taking the girls home beforehand.


    Why on earth is the MC written so stupidly? Everything he does makes no sense; only small children or mentally challenged people would behave like that. On top of that, all the women immediately hit on the MC, for whatever reason. Apparently, they're into dumb wannabe men. Even the landlady wants the MC's penis, even though her husband has only been missing for 48 hours. She throws herself at him. And to top it all off, the MC has a really weird penis—way too big, and the tip looks like an oversized mushroom. This makes the blowjob animation look so strange. I was rolling on the floor laughing when I saw that.


    To say something positive for once, the graphics are good, the animations are also good, even if the blowjob looks strange thanks to the huge penis. .

    The only thing that urgently needs changing is the script; maybe hire someone who has a better understanding of human behavior. The script's foundation is good, but the way the characters behave is stupid, and that applies not only to the main character but to all characters in the gameTo say something positive for once, the graphics are good, the animations are also good, even if the blowjob looks strange thanks to the huge penis. The only thing that urgently needs changing is the script. Maybe hire someone who has a better understanding of human behavior. The script's foundation is good, but the way the characters behave is stupid, and that applies not only to the main character but to all the characters in the game. They all act like characters in a cheap teen horror movie, like, "Let's split up so the killer can kill everyone one after the other," instead of sticking together and working against the killer. It's all just awful. On top of that, the humor is boring, but humor is subjective. I can only give a maximum of two stars because I feel sorry for the developer, and he contacted me and practically begged me to change the rating.And as I already wrote, if the developer changes the script and alters the characters' personalities into something even remotely believable, the game could be truly booming. Currently, all the women behave the same; you can only tell them apart because they look different. Character-wise, they're all equally dumb as a doorknob and obsessed with the MC for no reason. The MC hasn't done anything to make a woman like him; quite the opposite, in fact. The MC just does stupid things. So, the graphics are good, the animations are good, and the story could be good too, but not with such poorly written characters. Hire a different writer. Whoever is currently writing it has no idea how people behave believably. It seems more like it was written by a child. No offense.translated with Google.

    It's a very nice game, the character designs are satisfying, I just didn't really like the Asian character's design. I'm someone who prefers larger breasts. A pretty face, large breasts and a big bum are every man's dream, after all. Oh, and if there were futa, I'd play with even greater pleasure.

    The initial chapter got off to a good start, the only issue I have was that there was no real reason to lie about aurora being the MCs cousin. Other than that minor issue with the story, the interactions with the LIs are good, and the animations were pretty nice, I think some work could be done to spruce them up a little bit, but overall they looked good.

    Good start. The cast is nice, the story is interesting and we've got animations. And last but not least the tags are looking promising. It has everything the typical AVN enjoyer would want. You should give it a try. (y)

    So far so good. Not sure where the story is going. Only about 30 minutes into it. Graphics have gotten better. Seems to be an android/Ai uprising type story so far. Will be happy as long as i get all the girls...LOL

    There is quite a bit of potential in this game. The story could become interesting, but that is a relative unknown until the game develops further. The animation could use some work, specifically the looping when a scene is meant to terminate. It might be worthwhile to fix .1 before proceeding further, as the lighting shifts were rather jarring. I know, there was a warning, but that doesn't change the result of three to five different lighting layouts in a single scene. All said, a solid four-star game, at this time.

    I finished playing this and I decided to update my review.
    Why only two stars?
    We, players, must do two unnecessary things at launch. Every time we open the game we must choose language and confirm we're not underage. Instead of making language choice an option in preferences and age confirmation at the start of the game. I cannot say for any language beside Russian, but it's machine translation without proofreading. Let's say it cost 1 star.
    The game itself is a short demo with little bit of story and one sex scene at the end. There's nothing to play here at the moment, it's more like a proof of concept than a first chapter of AVN.
    The story, if I can call it that. MC has a multi-billionaire people (totally not his parents) who raised him, these people has two daughters that already in love with MC (for no reason), their mother is there too. But MC having sex with another girl, daughter of another rich man and she's already in love with MC. For the same reason as other girls. In other words, classic harem with impregnation. Been there, saw it all, nothing new.
    Oh, I forgot, it's not the story, it's genre. OK, there's some kind of story. Near future, mad androids, strange girl with cybernetics inside, security teams at MC's disposal... and it's not a story, it's disposition. That is worth 2 stars at least by itself.
    Then there's dialogs and how MC behaves. Dialogs on a kindergarten level, I almost stop reading, they are that bad. And MC... man, that raised him, is lost on a job. OK, it's not my problem. Some girl arrives and announce to MC that she will protect him (but told others she's his cousin), OK, it happens, nothing to care about. She stabbed dying MC with big syringe - nothing to worry about, that's normal. Security guy asks him not to leave the building - MC wants to buy flowers in the city amid total chaos and security guy can fuck off... It's like a carnival of morons and the main one - MC. I'd say it cost another star but then I saw a sex scene.
    At last there were normal text among porn movie quotes. That was some description (another unneeded thing in AVN) but that can be read without my palm on my face. I add a plus one for that.
    After the sex scene dev decided to say some words to player. It was better if he/she didn't do this.

    N.B.: Dev personally asks everyone who left a review to give 4 or 5 stars for that game. He's doing it politely but annoyingly so I guess the most of reviews here are... not only user's honest opinion.

    *Story so far- 4 stars. Liking the story so far. Can't wait to see where it goes

    *Renders- 1st update I'd give them 3 stars. New update I'd give 4-5 stars

    *Animations- 1 star. The animations really suck. They break the immersion of the game because they don't even look like the same game. Looks like it switches to a honey Select game. Text and sequenced daz renders would be 100% better

    *Love Interests-4 stars (would be 5 if not for the lez talk) Really liking all the love interests so far. The only con is that one of them is already having Lez thoughts that I don't want to read. Shouldn't force that, or have the MC get excited over it if the player doesn't choose that content.

    So far, liking it other than the animations, and the Lez talk (y)
    Good luck Dev

    So far theres not much content but its a pretty good start, story is decent but like i said just getting started so to early to say much about it.

    As for the girls there s a decent selection and it looks like you can turn down girl you dont like which is great and i truely hope dev keep it that way.
    Theres not really any petite but there are some normal girls which i personaly like, theres also some with idiotic huge tits for the cavemen out there, not for me which is why having a choice is extremly importen.

    Theres 2 reasons i cant give this top marks.

    1) The MC lusts for all which feels compleatly idiotic when you read MCs thoughts about how hot he thinks someone is and then you turn them down 2 seconds after, it breaks immersion and its a stupid move from dev sides making the MC lust for all even those you might find ugly as fuck, instend they should let people think for them selfs and remove those kind inner dialogs.

    2) The animations while they are pretty decent the skin color feels off, they almost turn golden like they are painted with the highest gloss possbile which makes them look a bit weird.

    Music is pretty standard stuff but decent.

    A unique game, the setup is intriguing. It promises to be a great new kind of story. I really hope this story will continue for a long time. The setup allows for many a whole series of games in the future.

    Good start. V0.2
    The project seems rich in possibilities and the execution seems interesting and fun.

    not much sex yet, but the girls seem eager , more than the MC passive as usual ...

    The renders look good and I lets see ...

    Between a 3* and 3.5* so far

    Setting is interesting, writing and graphics are average. Pacing is probably a little to fast, and its very much a Gary Stu game. Roughly 30 minutes of content so far, but its only been in development a few months. Has potential to finish as a solid 4* game.

    I would suggest giving it a try

    Good start. The characters have new faces. Sci-fi storyline has many possibilities. The renders look good and I do believe that they will become excellent as the storyline progress with support from patreons.

    The story seems pretty fun so far and the animations are good. The models look good and "clean" and there isn't really any "jank" that I've seen so far! It's a very good start and I hope it keeps getting supported and expanded! Keep up the good work m8!

    This game is in its infancy, but the graphics are very good and the story is shaping into a story of mystery and subterfuge with our MC surrounded by very attractive women, one of whom seems to be much more than what is first apparent. The storytelling is well-paced with good foreshadowing and interesting teases of coming romantic entanglements. I will look forward to coming releases of this game, and hope that the quality remains high or becomes even better.

    After the update to v. 0.2, I'm still enthusiastic about this game's storytelling and character development. As with most harem games, some of the progress with LIs seems a little faster than might be expected, but I enjoyed it, so I'm not complaining. We also got to see more of the perils that are impending for our heroes, including expanding the mystery with another unexplainable source of threat.

    I just finished the 0.3 update, and I more enthusiastic than ever about this game. The threat environment is becoming at once clearer and more complex, and one of the mysterious elements of the previous update (what was that red stuff in the syringe that Aurora saved his life with) is closer to being explained. Also, more fun stuff between the MC and some of the LIs. I'm not sure what the complaints about imagery are about -- I'm no expert, but I haven't seen anything that bothered me.

    since it is a initial release of the game the it looks super nice and the story is really interesting the animations need some work. I am a bit excited to see the future updates on the story, the girls and obliviously the animations.
    Best of luck!
